When you realize how long it's been.

Hey strangers, I was thinking about how long of a journey it's been just on skindex and pmc alone, so since I love poetry I decided to write a poem on the fly and share it on my skindex account, so here it is here too! <3





Do you ever just look back at how much it took to get here...?

Do you ever think about those you loved and forgot and eventually left behind?...


Am I old, or am I experienced?
Am I loved or am I frail?
Am I sheltered or am I protected?

There is no life where I could have lived this way forever,
Dust lies on the trophies and medals I've loved and lost,
Though I have tried, my work showing past endeavor,
My thoughts rest on the past as I think of the cost.

The cost being nothing and everything at the same time,
My world has been structured from a peaceful heart and wily lie:
That everything could last forever, and everything could be alright,
That all the things I've learned to trust would never have to make me cry.

Wow, you know I'm not much of a poetry person. (Sometimes I feel like it can be a little much) But this is really good!

Also, of course, a very relatable message about life and such. I think you nailed it 10/10.
